INTRODUCTION TO SKETCHNOTING FOR IMPROVED UX DESIGN

21

Monday, 21 October7:45 – 9:15 pm

ABOUT THIS CLASS

Note-taking is a natural skill we all use to extend our mind—so natural that we rarely think of ways to extract all the benefits it has to offer. With an emphasis on visual thinking, sketchnoting, a method popular amongst user experience designers, provides a way of extracting more value from your notes. In this 90-minute class, we’ll introduce the fundamentals of sketchnoting and provide a frame of understanding through live exercises and practice.

PREREQS & PREPARATION
